In this video I want to share with you the main fluticasone side effects, what it’s used for as well as few other choices when it comes to alternative medicine.

Fluticasone is used for nasal congestion and allergies. This could be like a stuffy nose, a runny nose, sneezing as well as helping with eye symptoms such as itchy, watery eyes.

The most common side effects would be a bloody nose. So be aware of that.

Nausea, vomiting, sneezing, a sore throat, headaches, muscle aches could happen as a side effect.

Some of the worst side effects would be a loss of interest in sex, that is a deal breaker for me. Also it may suppress the immune system and make it weaker. This makes sense because congestion is your immune system working to protect you. Artificially messing with it makes it easier for germs, viruses and bacteria to harm your boy.

Another side effect is that it can slow healing. You may think oh that is no big deal I got tons of band-aids, but think about when you exercise or go to the gym your muscles have to heal. Your body needs to heal itself, and some say sleep is the ultimate medicien because that is when your body needs to heal itself.

It can also slow the growth of children. So if you are a child don’t take this medicine. The effects are not know for women who are pregnant, so don’t take it if your pregnant.

This nasal spray can cause glaucoma or cataracts which damages vision. If you already have an issue with vision they can make them worse.

If you are looking for natural relief for allergies you can try omega 3 believe it or not. It seems no matter what health problem you have omega 3 seems to help.

A German study published in the journal Allergy found people who have diets rich in of omega-3 fatty acids suffer from fewer allergy symptoms.

Next take a quality multi-vitamin. One that doesn’t use fake synthetic ingredients but the real stuff. A study in the publication “Annals of Allergy and Annals, researchers proved that an intake of 4000 IU of vitamin D improved allergy symptoms by 30% in one week and up to 40% over the course of 12 weeks.

Also believe it or not spicy foods like peppers or horseradish acts as a nasal decongestant. In a study in the 2011 edition of Annals of Allergy & Asthma showed that the group that took the chili peppers reported a faster onset of relief than the control group who took a placebo.

Today I want to share some of the most common side effects of Namenda and a few additional options when it comes to alternative treatments.

Dementia and Alzheimer’s are fairly horrible medical conditions. Dementia is a broad term that affects anything to do with thinking or memory skills. Alzheimer’s causes 50-70% of all dementia cases and includes things such as impaired thinking, speech and confusion.

Alzheimer’s is not reversible while dementia can be reversed and perhaps something simple like a drug is causing dementia.

Namenda is a drug for moderate to severe Alzheimer’s.

The FDA approved the drug based on 2 studies. 1 involved 656 people with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s aged 50- 93. Results showed that patients taking the drug experienced significant improvement compared to a placebo. The study used the opinions of caregivers and an instrument to measure cognition. Hopefully the caregivers were not biased right.

However, a study published in CNN has shown it to be not effective with mild Alzheimer’s and three other studies have shown this. This here is a red flag because if the drug really worked why would it not work in mild cases?

Let’s talk about some of the dangers and side effects with the drug. One of the most dangerous side effects would be hallucinations, hearing voices and a feeling like you can’t breath which is shortness of breath. It could cause someone to be more angry and increase aggression.

There could be swelling in the hands, feet, easy bruising or bleeding and joint pains.

Other side effects could include diarrhea, stomach pains, vomiting and nausea. Of course one of the biggest side effects would be damage to your bank account. 30 capsules is nearly $400 according to Drugs.com. Plus you get free radicals as the drug breaks down in the body.

Other treatment ideas apart from this drug or any prescription drug could be a positive attitude. Sounds crazy but having good relationships, pets, spirituality all can help.

Two studies from Yale University found a strong link between negative feelings about aging and an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s.

A few things that make me feel great is giving back mostly through my time and also music almost always makes me feel great especially if I play it.

Another idea is to reduce eating too much animal products. A 2002 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has shown that that people who have homo cysteine levels have twice the usual risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Homo cysteine levels tend to be higher in people whose diets are high in animal products.

Plus moving around and exercising can lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s by up to 50 percent.

A Japanese study found that among 265 people with both normal mental function and mild cognitive decline, after one year of moderate exercise, 70 percent of them showed significant improvement in memory function.

There are many other ideas such as supplements and herbs that can help. I actually created a huge video all about free ideas and some paid to improve memory. There are free websites I share, techniques, herbs that can really help, where to get these herbs, supplements and it really can help people.

Plus with this free guide I share tips on shopping for supplements. To view this guide simply click on .http://utahtexans.com/

Today I want to share some of the big dangers and side effects with Herceptin and give you 2 other choices when it comes to medicine.

One thing many people are scared of is cancer, including myself.

Herceptin is a prescription drug for cancer if it’s located in the stomach, esophagus or in the breasts. It works by being injected in the blood stream once a week or once every 3 weeks.

The million dollar question is does it work?

According to WebMd a study found that adding a year of this drug to standard chemotherapy improved a persons chance of not dying by 37 percent. The addition of this drug also improved a 10 year overall survival rates from 75 percent to 84 percent.

It can help a person not die from these types of cancers and that is good. Of course with all drugs there is a cost. I’m not talking about money, I’m talking side effects and health dangers.

Herceptin works by blocking signals that tell cancer cells to grow. The bad news is that other cells besides cancer get effected.

Researchers at the Salt Institute have shown that Herceptin damages a gene called erbB2 which connects to the heart and lungs and thus damaging those organs. That isn’t good.

There was a study at the Journal of the American College of Cardiology that for every 100 people that took this drug 32 received heart problems. 42 received heart problems when combined with Anthrocyclines.

Plus around 40% of people that take this drug receive flu like side effects such as a fever, muscle pains and nausea. The drug is very expensive and releases free radicals as it breaks down in the body.

Let’s talk about a few other options and the truth is there are tons.

For example there is black cumin seeds and these seeds do so many wonderful things for health. With cancer there are tons of studies showing it can kill it.

For example in the Journal of Medical and Biological Research scientists created cancer tumors in rats and half where given black cumin seeds. After 30 days the group of rats that didn’t receive black cumin seeds had tumors the size of about 2.5 centimeters. The group of rats that received black cumin seeds experienced tumors that were two-tenths of a centimeter. That is a big difference.

Another treatment idea is probitoics for your gut. 80% of your immune system is in your gut so it makes sense.

In a study by the United States National Library of Medicine researchers gave kefir, which is a milk that has probiotics to mice with breast cancer. The result was that the mice had a delayed tumor growth and an increased number of cancer cells that died off. Even better news Is there is something called prebiotics which studies show to be 10 times more effective than probiotics.

They even have supplements that combine many of these herbs. Plus there are lifestyle changes that has been shown to fight off cancer.

To sum everything up Herceptin side effects include heart, lung damage and flu like symptoms. 2 other treatment ideas would be black cumin seeds and probiotics.

Today I want to share some of the leading Enbrel side effects and dangers, as well as give you a few other alternative treatment ideas.

The older you and I get the more the waves of life crash into us wearing us down, especially were are bones connect.

This creates a painful condition known as what? Yea arthritis.

Enbrel is a medicine for this condition as well as other inflammatory problems such as psoriasis, where too many skin cells build up on the skin.

People are willing to shell out around $1,200 a month for this medicine so it does work, but there is a cost.

One of the big dangers to Enbrel is that is suppresses the immune system. This is bad for many reasons but one is it increases the chance of cancer, research shows from Cancer.gov that when a person receives an organ transplant they take immune suppressing drugs and it increases the chance of many cancers. You need a strong immune system even for things such as an upset stomach.

What is scary is that this drug has been linked to fatal infections such as tuberculosis and fungal infections. In 2008 the FDA added a black box warning about these risks that were going undiagnosed.

Also it is a genetically engineered protein. This reminds me of Trans-Fats that is genetically engineered and we all know those are not good. Instead of normal fats being used in cells Trans-Fats get used and it makes them much weaker.

Another danger is some people get inflammation in the spinal cord leading to weakness in your arms and legs. This condition also leads to people not able to control their bladder and skin feeling strange such as tingly coldness or burning.

Some people lose red blood cells leading to fatigue and vision problems.

The most common side effects will be sinus infections, throat irritation, headaches, a runny nose and feeling dizzy at times. Plus you get free radicals, when the drug breaks down.

Let’s talk about a few other choices and there really is a lot. There is changes to your diet that can really help, there is exercise routes that increase mobility and decrease joint pain, there are tons of herbs and supplements that help.

To give you 1 idea is omega 3. Omega 6 is everywhere and when a person eats more omega 6 than 3, which nearly everyone does it promotes inflammation and this is the pain with arthritis.

In this video I want to share some of the leading Capaxone side effects, dangers as well as share a few other options.

Multiple sclerosis or MS for short is when the immune system doesn’t work correctly. Instead of just going after the bad guys it hurts nerves in the body. This causes communication problems. For example in order for you to walk your brain sends signals to your legs and with MS someone may not be able to walk.

Unfortunately there is no cure, but there is treatment and this drug is one of these treatments. On Copaxone’s website they have a study that 3 times a week of Copaxone at 40mg reduced the number of relapses by 34% compared to a placebo.

So it does look like it can help, but what about the dangers? One danger is that it works by limiting the immune system reactions, thus weakening the immune system.

This is bad for a variety of reasons, but one is cancer. There is a link between cancer and the immune system. For example organ transplant patients who are treated with immune suppressive drugs are more prone to cancer development. In a nutshell it will increase the chance of cancer and other bad things like getting the flu.

Another very common side effect is inflammation near the area where you inject Copaxone. This includes pain, redness, itching and even necrosis which is dead tissue cells and it changes how the skin looks.

There could be a reaction with taking the drug such as fatigue, weight gain and a runny nose. There is 1 last side effect and that is that Capoxone can be expensive.

The good news is that other drugs for MS do have worse side effects such as flu like symptoms, liver damage, white blood cells and thyroid problems. Those are the benefits and risks and now you might be wondering if there are treatment options.

I would recommend a quality multivitamin. In a study published in JAMA Neurology researchers found that among people with early sage MS those with more vitamin D in their bodies had slower MS progression during a 5 year follow up than those with low levels of this vitamin.

Next you could try an omega 3 supplement. In the National Multiple Sclerosis Society there was as study involving 312 people with MS. The group taking 10 grams daily of fish oil had less disability progression and fewer relapses than the placebo group.

Lastly there is coq10 which can help with fatigue and depression in patients with MS according the U.S. National Library of Medicine!

Now when it comes to how to shop for these supplements I would recommend checking out the link below where I’m giving away a free guide about this.

In this video I want to talk about Vyvanse and give you a few other options when it comes to treatment.

One of the largest problem we face as a society is too much convenience. We want the quick fix and drug companies make what we want, even though it’s probably not the best thing for us.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD for short is when a person has problems paying attention, they have too much activity and have difficulty controlling behavior. It’s the most common mental disorder in children.

Vyvanse is a drug for this problem and it’s similar to Ritalin, except if you take the drug it lasts 13 hours.

Some people claim in helps with binge eating as well. There are studies that shows it works for ADHD, but there is a price to pay and I want you to be aware of that price. This price is not money even though it costs a lot.

The side effects of the drug or just as bad if not worse that ADHD. It can increase your heart rate, blood pressure which is huge problem and a silent killer, cause panic attacks, insomnia and changes to your personality.

Due to this, you or maybe it’s for your child may want to get off the drug quickly and this is also a problem.

When coming off the drug some people experience depression, thoughts of suicide, mood changes and heavy sweating. It’s also very easy to become addicted to this drug.

You don’t want to combine this drug with alcohol. There are other side effects such as dizziness, stomach pains, diarrhea and free radical damage.

At this point you might be thinking what are other ideas to solve ADHD. This comes back to the point that as a society are problem is too much convenience because solving ADHD naturally takes more work.

You could try changes to your diet. Cut out processed foods and food coloring. According Mayo Clinic some studies show there is a link between these foods and ADHD.

It also could be an allergen. Bee pollen works great for allergies. You can get that in a supplement form. You could try eliminating gluten from your diet because some people experience a negative reaction with it.

This may sound crazy, but getting a message may help. A 2003 study published in the journal “Adolescence” showed that students with ADHD that received a 20 minute massage twice a week over the course of a month experienced improved mood in the short term and improved classroom behavior in the longer term.

Lastly take a quality multivitamin supplement probably can help because a deficiency in a vitamin may be causing ADHD.

In this video I’m going to share some of the major side effects of the drug symbicort and I’m going to share a few better options.

Breathing is important right? Symicort does help someone breath by reducing inflammation in the airways. It’s commonly prescribed to people with asthma or lung disease.

If you don’t have insurance this inhaler is going to cost around $300, which is expensive. It lasts about 30 days if you take 2 puffs a day.

The main ingredient in this drug is Formoterol.

Researchers from Cornell and Stanford universities have looked at 19 trials with over 33 thousand patients and have concluded that the ingredient in this drug called Foroterol may be causing 4 out of 5 U.S. Asthma related deaths per year and should be taken off the market.

You might be wondering how does this ingredient kill. The answer is according to the researchers is that the medication relieves asthma symptoms, however it promotes inflammation without warning.

Almost like they relieve the symptoms for the short term, but make them worse overall.

I’ll share just 1 study and that is researchers found that 53 of 3,083 patients inhaling this ingredient were hospitalized for an asthma attack, compared with 12 of 2,008 patients who received a placebo.

Let’s talk about some of the most common side effects and that would be headache, throat irritation, nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, back pain, stuffy nose, muscle or joint pain, or changes in your voice.

Of course there are many other side effects that you could experience depending on how your body reacts to the drug.

At this point you might be wondering if there are better options. I would highly encourage you to look at bee pollen for allergies. According to the “Journal of Allergy” 78% of asthma patients averaged a 75% improvement after taking bee pollen. Another great idea that is often overlooked is vitamin D, which you can get in a multivitamin.

In the September issue of the “Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology” researchers reviewed nearly 60 years’ worth of literature on vitamin D with asthma. They found that a vitamin D deficiency is linked to increased airway reactivity, lower lung functions, and worse asthma control.
